How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • Acquisition and requisitioning of property is a subject in the Concurrent List, so both Parliament and State legislatures can legislate on it.
  • The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 replaced the Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
  • A final (declaration) notification in land acquisition conclusively records that the land is needed for a public purpose.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS3 (infrastructure, urban planning) and GS2 (federal and governance issues). Large township projects need contiguous land, which pushes states towards formal acquisition under the LARR framework, where fair compensation, consent, social impact assessment and R&R must be balanced against speed. The way forward is transparent valuation, timely compensation, livelihood support for displaced farmers and careful planning of utilities and environmental safeguards.
